Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have. Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/actors-in-store.md#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ![Norm Data](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FabriAV/normdata/refs/heads/main/assets/banner_norm2.png) ## 📒 ZL.LV Scraper - Latvia Business Directory & Leads Extract business leads from **ZL.LV (zl.lv)**, the Latvian business directory (Zelta Lapas).

Turn on **Details** to add the **registration and VAT numbers, founding date, legal address, legal status, NACE code**, number of owners and officers, last annual report, **e-mails**, every phone, website, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and other links, opening hours, industries, keywords, brands and related companies. It reads **all of Latvia** (about 68,000 companies), splits searches past the site's 10,000 cap by itself, and can run on a schedule to send you **only new companies**. > 👉 **Try it now:** press **Start**. The ready-made input gives you 10 companies in a few seconds.

Do I need an API key? > ZL.LV has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a ZL.LV API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP. #### Why do I get only 10 companies? > On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit. #### Is there a limit per search? > The site shows at most 10,000 companies per search. The scraper splits bigger searches by itself, so you get all of them. #### Can I search all of Latvia? > Yes. Leave every place field empty. #### What is in the base price and what is in Details? > The base row has the name, main phone, address (street, city, municipality, postal code), GPS, description, website when the list shows it and the promoted flag. Details adds the register data (registration and VAT numbers, founding date, legal address, legal status, NACE, owners, officers, annual report, last change), e-mails, every phone, social pages, about text, opening hours, industries, keywords, brands, related companies, rating and photo count. #### Few or no results > ZL.LV is in Latvian: try "frizieris" instead of "hairdresser", or pick a category from the list. The log shows how many companies each search has. #### A category was skipped > The log says when a name is not one of the site's categories. Type it under **Keywords** to search it as words. #### Is this an official ZL.LV tool? > No. It is independent and not affiliated with ZL.LV. It reads only data ZL.LV publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with ZL.LV's terms and the laws that apply to you. ### 📧 Contact Need a scraper for a different site, or found something wrong with this one? norm.data.scrapers@gmail.com # Actor input Schema ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many companies in total.

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/LF8wuSHQ2wldhp74k/builds/KMjPyJSeSfLVd24Sh/openapi.json
